Add a child to your Norton Family account

To add a child to your account and monitor the activities, you must create a child profile and then assign the child to a device. If you want to assign the child to a Windows PC, create a separate user account for the child to login. This allows Norton Family to monitor each child separately and to set house rules based on each child's age.

You can add up to 15 children to your family account.

You can add a child from the Norton website or Norton Family app for parents.
